    armpit of the midwest
    Saw one chasing 13 line ground squirrels one day.
    Years ago.

    Another a few yrs later, fall day..........most folks proly would have thought it a leaf blowing across the road.

    And if memory serves me, about 3 yrs ago while deer hunting.

    All central Indiana.

    Will they kill chickens? I have some in a chain link dog kennel, I'm certain a weasel could get through.

    Not far from the tree
    Watched one hunting on my wood pile about 30' from my dining room window one day. Mostly nocturnal but will hunt when they're hungry. Only one I've actually seen in almost 60 yrs of living here.

    Yes, they are down here in SE Indiana. Also, this year I have gotten a mink (or minks) a lot on my trail cameras. I have not gotten any weasels this year on camera but a friend that lives nearby has seen some weasels this year.

    Back in the day of trapping for extra money while in high school caught a weasel in Johnson county. Really smelled up the area, skinned it and used a section of a wooden yard stick as a streching board. It brought the highest price single fur for us that year, 1960.

    Pretty sure I saw a long tailed weasel driving into the Eagle Creek Pistol Range just before daybreak several years ago. Didn't get a great look at it but I don't know what else it could have been.
